Gerstner 1805 Orville Chest

A Tribute to Innovation and Craftsmanship

In the early 1900s, Dayton, Ohio, thrived with innovation. The Wright brothers were building and flying the first successful motor-operated airplane. At the same time, Harry Gerstner was creating his first tool chests and founding H. Gerstner & Sons. These worlds crossed when Orville Wright himself owned a Gerstner 41A chest, carrying many of his favorite tools.

The historic 41A chest now rests at Carillon Historical Park in Dayton, Ohio. However, you can own a modern tribute with the 1805 Orville Chest. This piece blends museum-level craftsmanship with the practicality and portability Gerstner has been known for since 1906.
